Georgia Election System Under Scrutiny

Georgia's election system faces significant turmoil as the Republican-led state election board introduces last-minute rules ahead of the upcoming election. Recently, the board voted to request changes to legislation that would make it more difficult for county election officials to dismiss challenges to voter eligibility. This has led to widespread filing of mass voter challenges across the state, creating chaos and concerns about the integrity of the electoral process. Local officials have raised alarms about issues such as double-counted ballots and machine malfunctions, calling for the state to declare a state of emergency to secure fair elections.
